[Techtalk] PHP and MySQL installation

[Michelle Murrain]

I'm having a bit of a problem with a PHP installation - a problem 
that shouldn't be there.

1) This is on a RH 8.0 box

2) I've installed RPMs for mysql - server, client, devel

3) I'm compiling php from source (from the php.net site) because I 
want to include some things like xslt, wddx, etc.

4) In the configure stage, I've chosen to use 
--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql because I'm also installing mod_perl, and 
the php install directions specifically warn against using the 
bundled libraries because it might cause conflicts.

5) RH installs header files in /usr/include/mysql, libraries in 
/usr/lib/mysql, and binaries in /usr/bin

6) During the configure stage, the script complains that it "Cannot 
find header files under /usr/include/mysql" - I've also tried all of 
the other directories (/usr/lib/mysql and /usr/bin) to no avail.

Clearly I'm missing something, but I have no idea what it is.

Thanks!
